<p>Hi Lydia</p>
<p>You posting this is a big first step..…it may not seem that way, but believe me. :)</p>
<p>You, like so many of us, are wonderfully creative, to the point where its hard to actually sit in your seat long enough to make something that you are proud of..</p>
<p>You may already know that this feeling of "simply not being able to" , or "its too powerful" is a lie you are telling yourself. You are just as able to stop as anybody else. </p>

<p>I am withdrawing from my DD world gradually and putting all my talents, intellect, emotions, and attention into external things. </p>
<p>I am more genuinely "real" now…..and I have to say. It is worth every molecule in my body.</p>
<p>When I am feeling the pull of my daydreams, I say this silently in my head to myself "I promise to make this world liveable for you".</p>
<p>Because despite all that anyone has told you, you don't need a reason to start loving yourself. Loving yourself is where you MUST start if you want to get anywhere. :)</p> I find this fascinating.

<p>Sounds like you MD alright. I do all of that.

<p>But the truth is were not freaks. We can think about situations more clearly then most people can and have wonderful imaginations. We have a lot of love to give.

I also have the problem of not being able to explain what I do with my time. My parents are probably starting to get suspicious of me hiding out in my room with my iPod all the time. And when people ask me what I like to do, I never really know what to say.

You sound a lot like me. I'm very good at everything school-related except for math. I want to share my daydreams but they're too complex. I'm a male character in some of my daydreams. My daydreams usually have a fantasy or sci-fi theme. A lot of my daydreams are inspired by books.

<p>I obsess over mine too, even this short one has to come out just right! :/ </p>
<p>I can relate to a lot of your post, Definitely the part about your significant other wondering what on earth you do all day. Dating is hard especially living with that person. They dont like you staying up till 3 without them and you can't be honest with them about what it is your doing! Right now only the people who've read my posts know these things about me.

They dont like you staying up till 3 without them and you can't be honest with them about what it is your doing! Right now only the people who've read my posts know these things about me. When I'd date girls they would get a little close to me and I'd either have to shut them out, or they'd think I'm cheating on them, or in some cases they'd think I was weird and bail. But I AM weird so what can I say?!</p>
<p>Anyway I'm just like you, my daydreams are different of course, just found out about MDD, I started probably 4 or younger, now I'm 32! Excellent with all the language arts and linguistics and such but got lost in math in 4th grade specifically! I still do blame it on my teacher! Terrified of math for the rest of my life. Strangely enough I use alot of applied math at work now and people think I'm smart, but no I flunked out of pretty every subject and skipped school to daydream.</p>
<p>Never thought of it as an addiction til I found out about MD online by googling "constantly daydreaming" about 2 months ago. What I read was so heavy for me I had to put my phone away for a second before I could read more. Then I found myself obsessing and pacing on Maladaptive Daydreaming and my life story for few nights which was a good feeling but not constructive at all so I took a break from digging further on it until I calmed down a little more, which worked, then I found this place and don't think I've ever been happier to sign up for anything online. Or willingly post my most hidden secrets to complete and total strangers!</p>
<p>Just getting it off your chest to other people who really know how you feel is super awesome, and I also want to help others like me in some way. I'd really like to be able to reach out to everyone still out there who thinks they're alone in the world like I've felt as long as I've been alive. I used to fear one day I wouldn't know the difference between my fantasy and reality, and even kept accidentally calling my girlfriend at the time by the name of a character of mine! Never to her face thank god! But it would slip while I would be talking to myself (any time I'm alone or out of earshot) and I always worried one day I'd call her that name and she'd think I was cheating for real this time!!</p>
